Jumping back in here.
Since getting my all-original COE driving again, and becoming a member of a few COE-based groups, I have come to HATE these re-chassis'd trucks (such as the 'COE Suburban' above) because the tiny wheels are completely out of proportion. That alone now earns me a huge 'jeer' for the Suburban here.
